Philippine flooding disaster
The torrential rains have once again put much of the capital city of Manila underwater, but the strong spirit of its residents is clear as they try to cope. Here are a few images from the past week from the storm battered country.
A Filipino resident swims in polluted waters as he tries to salvage items from their house after two empty barges rammed into shanties on stilts at a poor community in Manila, Philippines on Monday July 30, 2012. A tropical storm roughed up seas and dumped torrents of monsoon rains in central and the northern Philippines, leaving at least three people dead and causing barges to smash into dozens of shanties along Manila Bay, officials said Monday.
